Abundant Life Church Podcast

Most of life isn’t lost in big moments—it drifts in unattended thoughts. In Taking Control of Your Mind , Pastor John Carter calls believers to stop living on mental autopilot and start partnering with God in disciplined, Spirit-led thinking that reshapes words, reactions, and ultimately direction. When the mind comes under Christ’s authority, lasting change isn’t far behind.

Your life doesn’t drift by accident—it’s directed by what you say every day. In this message, Pastor John Carter helps us to discover why Scripture calls the tongue the steering wheel of your future and how disciplined words can bring clarity, peace, and forward momentum even when life pushes back. If you’re ready to stop reacting and start leading your life with intention, this teaching lays the groundwork.

God is sovereign, yet He designed you with real agency and responsibility. In this message, Pastor John Carter draws a firm biblical line between trusting God’s control and avoiding passivity, calling believers to active, grace-empowered obedience. It’s a timely wake-up call to stop waiting to be rescued and start partnering with God in purposeful action.

Step into a new year anchored in unshakable faith and confident victory. Rooted in Psalm 118, Pastor John Carter encourages the believers to lift their voice, declare God’s promises out loud, and trust Him through every challenge, shift, and breakthrough ahead. It’s a bold reminder that no matter what surrounds you, the Lord is on your side, and this is the year to live it.

God’s presence isn’t something we wait to feel—it’s a reality we learn to live from. In this message, Pastor John Carter equips believers with practical, time-tested habits to sharpen their awareness of God within them, especially in storms, setbacks, and seasons of doubt. When you anchor your faith in truth, your words, worship, and daily choices begin to carry the weight of heaven.
